If you hadn't become a physician, what career do you think you would chosen instead?

"Assuming I would have chosen an alternative career early, which would have offered me the luxury of failure, it would have been something to which I was romantically attracted and not necessarily practical, such as being a record producer or entertainment management or a professional photographer."

This question takes the previous question on what type of health career you would have chosen, besides osteopathy, to another level by asking what non-health career would you have chosen. In this way, it is related to the question about your hobbies outside of medicine. Thus, it's another attempt to find out what else you find interesting, outside of medicine.

"It's the scientist in me that drove me to clinical medicine, so I suppose I would have been involved in research, specifically geared to nutrition. I don't know if that means becoming a dietitian or a nutritionist, but diet is so important, so my focus would have been on that, which is also a holistic direction."
